How to use

Working With Raspberry Pi

PS: The system of the Bullseye branch only supports Python3.

RTC

Open a terminal and run the following command to download the demos.

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
wget https://files.waveshare.com/upload/b/bd/RTC_WatchDog_HAT.zip
7z x -tzip -y RTC_WatchDog_HAT.zip -o./RTC_WatchDog_HAT
sudo chmod 777 -R RTC_WatchDog_HAT
cd RTC_WatchDog_HAT/RTC

C Example

cd ~/RTC_WatchDog_HAT/RTC/c/
make clean
make 
sudo ./main

Python Example

cd python/examples/
sudo python main.py

Add Kernel Mode Driver

Note that with this method, you cannot use the above sample demo.
Modify /boot/config.txt and add the following commands at the end:

 dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds3231

Hwclock is simple to use

Synchronize System Clock -> Hardware Clock.

sudo hwclock -w

Synchronize Hardware Clock -> System Clock.

sudo hwclock -s
  #Need to close the network or close the network time, otherwise, it will be changed back.

Set the hardware clock time:

sudo hwclock --set --date="9/8/2021 16:45:05"

View the hardware clock.

sudo hwclock -r

Display version information.

sudo hwclock --verbose

WatchDog

In the WatchDog example, it feeds the watchdog chip if the D4 pin toggle. If the watchdog doesn't be feed in T time, it will cut off the power and the voltage falls to 1.25V, in this case, the MAX705 chip will reset and restart the power. About the time T:

T = 0.7*R*C+1.6s

R is default 5.1M, and C is default 44uF.

Tge default delay time is 157.08s ±6%.

RC are set in the board:

RTC

Download the sample demo, extract it to a specified directory, and run the sample demo:

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
wget https://files.waveshare.com/upload/f/fe/X3PI_RTC_WatchDog_HAT.zip
7z x -tzip -y X3PI_RTC_WatchDog_HAT.zip -o./X3PI_RTC_WatchDog_HAT
sudo chmod 777 -R X3PI_RTC_WatchDog_HAT
cd X3PI_RTC_WatchDog_HAT/RTC

C

cd c/
make clean
make 
sudo ./main

Python

cd python/examples/
sudo python main.py

Update RTC Time to System Time

Note: Network should be disabled during this process.
Modify the time in the code:

cd X3PI_RTC_WatchDog_HAT/RTC/python/examples/
sudo apt-get install nano
sudo nano rtc.py   

Add boot-up:

cd
sudo cp -r /home/sunrise/X3PI_RTC_WatchDog_HAT/ /root/X3
sudo chmod -R 777 /root/X3/RTC/python/examples/rtc.py
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
At the end of the line, add python3 /root/X3/RTC/python/examples/rtc.py
Save and exit

Enter date to view the time.
